Of course. Yixing teapots, Star Wars toys, and Apple stock. If we only had a time machine... Congrats on the buried treasure! Enjoy.

i seldom buy from overseas! but the ridiculousness of local and regional prices required me to cast my interest towards sourcing from further locations.

in this case the seller gave me the diameter of the body than the diameter from handle to spout included nevertheless i've just received a request from a friend whom's interested in having it if i dont want/like it. guess i'm keeping it and add it to my display shelf

Thanks, but I'm reducing my collection drastically, it's so addictive that I was close to 40 pots and if nothing stops me it would be 100 in 2 years, no way.I'm so deep into the TAD that I have to really restrain myself and have limits so I said to myself: only zhuni pre 60's, it's so hard to find these days that I think 1 or 2 pots per year is reasonable, unless some members PM me and sell me theirs today

I'm here for quite a while but just did a lot of reading so far. Since there are a few experts here I'd like to hear their opinion on this pot. It supposed to be a Factory 1 pot from the early 80's. Any thoughts?
